Where are Marbella police? Electric scooter filmed at 100 km/h on A-7
A bizarre electric scooter sighting on the A-7 near Marbella has prompted the latest round of the increasingly familiar question: […]
A video showing an electric scooter traveling at approximately 100 km/h on the A-7 motorway near Marbella has raised questions about the whereabouts of local law enforcement. The footage, shared by a user on social media platform Fuengirolasequeja, depicts a rider without a helmet navigating through traffic, seemingly defying Spanish traffic regulations.
These rules stipulate that electric scooters, classified as personal mobility vehicles (VMPs), are limited to a maximum speed of 25 km/h and are prohibited from being used on motorways or other roads connecting towns. Furthermore, a new set of national regulations, implemented this year, mandates the use of helmets for scooter riders as of October 1, 2026, with potential fines of €200 for non-compliance.
Marbella has its own set of VMP regulations, with violations potentially leading to fines between €200 and €1,000. This incident is not the first of its kind on the Marbella section of the A-7. In June 2022, another video surfaced of an electric scooter overtaking a vehicle at nearly 100 km/h on an autovia in Marbella, sparking concerns about the legality of such operations.
The recurrence of these incidents has led to social media users questioning the presence of Marbella police on the scene.
